Campus week is approaching! Campus week is a time where people can come and live in our intern house for 7 days to see what it’s like. It’s a great opportunity to scope out the school, meet some amazing people and get a taste of what it’s like to live in a community of like-minded believers! Campus week is from April 4th to the 9th. Here are some testimonies from two of our students, Sarah and Josh. Both were previous campus week students from last year.

Having attended campus week in May, 2010 I had a small idea of what to expect when I decided to send my application to Streams Ministries Canada for the fall of 2010. Although it has been along the lines of what I had expected there are many things that I would not have thought would be a part of my first semester at Streams.

God has revealed to me how big He actually is. Whether it has been through the amazing teachings I have received, living in community, or the every day amazing personal God time, which I must say is not easy all the time, but is becoming something that I look forward to every day. I have learnt that trying to struggle through life on my own and carrying burdens that I am not meant to carry is no longer an option, not when I have the most amazing Father to walk through all my stuff along side me. Psalm 32:8 is a scripture that has walked with me through the difficult times “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” And every day it still encourages me in my walk.

Since coming to Streams God has been doing a lot of healing/restoration in my relationships with people, particularly between my parents and I.  There has been forgiveness (on both sides) for things of the past that had not been dealt with until recently.

Through this God allowed me to go home for Christmas last December, for the first time in 3 years.  I had planned to go to my Aunts house for Christmas.  Until I recieved an unexpected phone call from my mom, asking me if I would like to spend Christmas with my family this year.  I told her to ask rest of my family what they thought of the idea and get back to me.  My mother called me back the following morning telling me that the response she had gotten from my siblings was “that they would rather forfeit their presents to have me home, than keep their presents but have Christmas without me”.

Now my mom didn’t have the money (wich was around $1,000) to bring me home.  But she instructed me that she had already purchased my plane tickets, and was trusting that God would bring the money in!   No more than 4 days since I arrived home in Ontario, the money had already come in!  Some from close family friends, and some from the mortage company calling my parents and telling them that they could miss a few payments while they made some adjustments!   Needless to say I had a great Christmas with my family.

God is my provider, and He is the very best there is!!!
